This booklet contains details pertaining to various aspects of the examination you are going to undertake and important instructions about the related matters. A computerised machine will do the assessment of the answer sheet; hence you should carefully read instructions regarding handling of the answersheet and the method of marking answers. You are advised to study this booklet carefully as it will help you in preparing yourself for the examination.

Before appearing for the written examination, you should strictly ensure yourself that you fulfill the eligibility criteria stipulated by the Organisation in all respects. The Organisation will reject at any stage of selection, any candidate who does not satisfy the eligibility criteria.

Please note that this is a competitive examination; mere passing is not adequate. You have to obtain a high rank in the order of merit to be considered for interview. You should therefore put in your best effort in the examination.

8. Use of HB Pencil and Ball Pen: You should bring with you two commonly available HB Pencils, a Pencil Sharpener, an Eraser and a Ball Point Pen. Two pencils are advised to avoid mending a pencil during the examination as you may lose time. Using HB Pencil only also should mark all the answers on Side 2.

9. Handling Answersheet: Please handle your answersheet carefully. Keep it dust free. If it is mutilated, torn, folded, wrinkled, rolled or dusty, it may not be valued. Similarly, if you do not write your Roll Number and Test Form No. in Box Nos.14 and 17 respectively, your answersheet will NOT be assessed. Answersheets and question papers will be supplied by the Organisation. After the test is over, you should hand over the same to the invigilator before leaving the room.

HOW TO SHOW YOUR ANSWERS:

Each question is followed by answers, which are numbered 1,2,3,4 and 5. Select the most appropriate answer. Then by using HB Pencil, blacken the oval bearing the correct answer against the serial number of the question. (Refer to Side 2 of the Specimen Answersheet). Please note that the oval should be dark enough and should be filled in completely. For example, if the answer to Question Number 2, is answer number 5, it is shown as follows

Q1 2 3 4 5

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR ANSWER:

If you wish to change your answer, ERASE COMPLETELY the already darkened oval by using good quality eraser and then blacken the new oval bearing your revised answer number. While changing the answer, erasing the earlier answer completely is extremely essential. If it is not erased completely, smudges will be left on the erased oval as shown below and the question will be read as having two answers and will be ignored for giving any credit.

Q.2. 1 2 3 4 5

(Smudge left in Oval No.3 due to bad eraser, and the fresh answer in Oval No.4 will be read as two answers 3 and 4 and therefore no credit will be given even if the answer No.4 happens to be the correct answer).
